406: Barrage of Death! Zhi Li is utterly shocked!_2

The result…

After a hail of iron pellets, countless soldiers were seen vanishing from the bamboo rafts.

Numerous bodies densely fell into the water, swept away by the Nu River.

The once muddy waters of the Nu River now ran red with blood.

The first batch of troops crossing the river, a full twenty thousand strong, had nearly halved after just two rounds of cannon fire.

And the remaining half, wailing and howling, were already scared out of their wits.

Earl Chu Ye's face trembled, his entire body shaking.

The remaining ten thousand plus soldiers, should they continue to charge forward? That was no different from suicide.

But if they were to retreat just like that, what a blow it would be to the troops' morale?

And at that moment…

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…"

From Suo Lun's southern bank positions, tens of thousands of soldiers shot arrows from the trenches.

Volleys of arrows rained down on the river, one round after another.
